Africa World Airlines Ltd. (AWA) now operates from the newly commissioned Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
The move, which took place yesterday Thursday September 1, 2022 came after the airline got a nod from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), making the Ghanaian airline the second carrier to operate from the said terminal – the first being Air Peace which commenced operations there in April, 2022.
According to sources, the Managing Director of FAAN, Capt.
